Baked Ham and Egg Cups

This is what Katrina made for Dad's birthday breakfast, and it was very delicious.  Thanks, Katrina! 

8 eggs
3/4 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
1/4 c. cottage cheese
5 oz. frozen spinach, defrosted, squeezed of water, and roughly chopped
1/3 c. roasted red peppers
1oz. finely diced ham, Canadian bacon, or crumbled bacon (about 1/4 to 1/3 c.)
1/4 c. chopped green onions
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. hot sauce (like Tabasco)
12 slices lunchmeat ham

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In a bowl, combine all ingredients (except ham slices) and stir well.

3. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and place one piece of ham in each well to form a bowl.

4. Evenly divide the egg mixture between the 12 muffin wells (about 1/4 c. each) being careful to keep ingredients evenly distributed. You want to fill them right up to the top.

5. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The tops should be puffed and just barely set on top. Eggs will sink after cooling.
